The comparisons of mechanical properties and fracture behaviour between as-consolidated PM Ti5553 alloy and as-cast IM Ti-5553 alloy were investigated through tensile, fracture toughness and impact toughness tests in this research. The slightly higher strength but much higher ductility and toughness can be identified in IM alloy specimens, which is also confirmed by the fracture behaviour of the specimens after mechanical tests. IM alloy specimens always exhibit the ductile dimple fracture mechanism in the different tests, while the fracture mechanism of PM alloy specimens indicates a high loading rate sensitivity, changing from the mixed ductile-brittle quasi-cleavage fracture into the brittle cleavage fracture mechanism accompanied by the remarkable decrease of impact toughness. The relatively low mechanical properties, especially the ductility and the brittle fracture behaviour of as-consolidated PM Ti-5553 alloy, are mainly explained by the differences in the initial microstructures between these two alloys.
